This past year has been a lot. Physically, mentally, emotionally… I haven’t shared much of it, but it’s been a lot.
For someone who documents other people’s lives, it feels ironic that I’ve avoided documenting my own for so long. It’s always come from a place of insecurity, like a lot of people, around how I look or my weight. I’d avoid photos or videos completely, always telling myself I’d do it “when I’d lost a bit more weight.”
But this past year brought some huge life changes that really shifted my perspective. I went through a few unexpected surgeries, and my body has been through more than I ever expected. And again, I avoided documenting it… because I didn’t want to remember that version of me.
But in that time… I’ve lost 6.5 stone. I’ve started running. I’ve pushed myself in ways I never thought I could (shoutout to 🫶🏽).
And for the first time, I feel proud of who I’m becoming.
At the same time, I feel a little sad that the old version of me didn’t feel worthy of that same pride.
I’m not at the end yet, but I’m learning there’s something really special about this in-between version of me…
And I wish I’d been brave enough to capture more of it 🤍
Thank you to my lil besties & .shot for helping me find my confidence and documenting this version of me. Love you girls 💕
